TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM (TPMS)
This system monitors tire pressure. Please remember, this system
does not detect a sudden drop in tire pressure (for example, a
blowout while driving). It also does not monitor the air pressure in
the spare tire.
Tire pressure is affected by temperature. Low outside temperature causes lower tire
pressure. This may cause the low tire pressure warning light to illuminate.
If the low tire pressure warning light illuminates, check the tire pressure in all four tires.
To turn the low tire pressure warning light off, adjust the low tire pressure to the
recommended COLD tire pressure shown on the Tire and Loading Information label
located in the driver’s door opening.
If TPMS is not functioning properly, the low tire pressure warning light will flash for
approximately 60 seconds when the key is turned on. After 60 seconds, the light will
remain on. Have the system checked by a NISSAN dealer.
FRONT-PASSENGER AIRBAG STATUS LIGHT

sensor, the front-passenger air bag is designed to automatically turn OFF. When the

For example:
 When the system detects that the front-passenger’s seat is occupied by a small adult,
child or child restraint as outlined in the Owner’s Manual, the will illuminate to
indicate that the front-passenger air bag is OFF and will not inflate in a crash.
 When the front-passenger’s seat is occupied and the passenger meets the conditions
outlined in the Owner’s Manual, the will not illuminate to indicate that the front-
passenger air bag is operational.

air bag is OFF.

Bag System.
